Upcoming Webinar: "Assessing Environmental Impacts of Construction" on April 6th from 12-1 PM (PST) on Zoom.

Join us to hear from sustainability experts on how construction impacts our environment and why incorporating "green" or "sustainable" practices can not only reduce air polluting emissions and material waste, but also help align your agency to California's future as an environmentally-focused funding and regulatory leader.

This webinar will share the experience and perspectives from a broad range of surface transportation professionals, covering topics like:

--California's regulatory environment (CARB)
--Sustainability and the State DOT (Caltrans)
--Planning & consulting sustainable projects (Moffat & Nichol)
--Deploying sustainable construction practices (City of Lancaster)
--Sources & measurement of construction emissions (CSULB)

Practical abatement and mitigation strategies will also be discussed, including ways to optimize equipment vehicle miles traveled (VMT), incorporate green materials, and repurpose existing resources in construction activities. Learn how to make construction a part of the solution as California advances toward a carbon net-zero future in transportation.
